When you go into surgery your body will go into shock and will take about 3 months for a natural repair mode to kick in. This also happens because your hormones are all over the place. The more you lose weight and the fat goes away it allows for more of your hormones to surface.You can have dry skin, hair shedding and other things. Not sure if you ever had kids but this also happens after deliver. When your hormones start to rapidly reduce you'll experience this. I've heard the hair shedding is from the anesthetics giving at surgery.. not sure.

Also if you're not on top of your Vitamins and protein... It can happen. I take mine and I'm over my Protein so I know his isn't why.

Some say biotine vitamins work and some say bariatric patients aren't able to obsorbe biotine.

Some patients may not even notice this repair mode their body is in. You might be one of the lucky ones.

I think the benifits of losing lbs out weighs my hair shedding.

Oh ps.... This repair mode can last from 1 to 18 months.

Don't sweet the small stuff!

I'm contemplating cutting my hair also, My hair is long, It falls almost to my butt when it's straightened. It's always been really thick, so the Hair loss hasn't been as noticeable to most people, but I'm getting really tired of these strands falling out.

I'm in my 3rd month of post of and my hair has been shedding hike CrAzY!!! Dr said it could possible shed from 1 to 18 months. WTH 18 MONTHS?

I know since my hair is extra long its been making it look twice as bad

BEFORE

AFTER .. I chopped it myself.

because the strands are so long. I was so sick of hair EVERYWHERE I chopped it into a A-Line Bob. I know its not gonna slow the process down but it ain't gonna be as much hair. Plus ponytail and weak hair roots make things even worse.

New body.. new hair.. and a whole new tude to go with it. LOL

Short Hair... #SummertimeSwag

Whoop! Whoop!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
